Hi Sabine

What a splendid post!!! Again a wonderful collage from the Master of collages :)
This little evolution post will most definitely (sooner or later) be asked to be used in biology classes in schools or even universities.

I am really happy for you that you were so lucky to find this charming species in so many places and moments and also managed to take photos of every of them.
The details in all of them are superb and the poses that the darter is presented in are also great!
All-in-all, an amazing job!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Sabine,
This is a very attractive presentation of the fascinating life cycle of a dragonfly. I like the "face" in the middle and all captures are sharp and well composed. I'm very impressed by the first shot taken at night! Very well done!

Hello Sabine.
A very attractive lifecycle of then Southern Hawker you show us here. It's amazing that out of an ugly insect such a beautiful dragonfly appears.
Thank you very much for showing this.

Hallo Sabine,
die fotografische Komplettierung von Lebenszyklen verschiedener Augenfalter war einst ein Schwerpunkt von mir (ca. 3000 Dias) - hat richtig Freude gemacht. So hast auch du hier für dich richtig etwas erforscht. Die Gesamtkollage ist sehr attraktiv - das betrifft auch den Kopf in der Mitte sowie die farbliche Gestaltung der Beschriftung. Sehr schöne scharfe Bilder. Dasjenige rechts oben finde ich zu dunkel - ich weiss, dass du eher zu 'dunklen Hintergründen' mit saftigen Farben davor neigst.
Schöne Grüße, Peter
